DEODOBIEEB.

Application filed June 16,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY Fnaznn, J12, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oberliin, in the county oi Lorain and State oi? @hior have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Deodorizers, oi which the following is a speciii cation.

This invention is designed primarily as a means for thoroughly aerating clothing or other goods for the purpose of removing theretroln any odor remaining therein after they are subjected. to the gasoline cleaning process; but the apparatus also serves the purpose of removing dust and lint from the 5 material.

The invention consists in a rotary (11111 having one of its Walls (preferably its cyl ndrical Wall) reticulated to permit the flow of air therethrough, with conduit for conducting air to the interior thereoi (preterably through a hollow trunnion) and with battles distributed around the interior of the drum; said baffles being in the form of brushes or groups of bristles, whereby they not only assist in tumbling the goods but brush the surface thereof in a znanner to re more lint and dust therefrom and leave the nap of the goods better condition for aera tion. The bristled baffles are preferably left free to rotate under the action of the goods rubbing against them.

The invention will be fully understood upon reference to the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figures 1 and 2 are respectively. a side elevation and a front elevation oi a deodorifi/zer eu'ibodyiug the sev ra.l features oithe present invention.

Figure 3 is a vertical section on the line 3 of Figure 2; and Figure ii; is an axial section of the druua l re 'irescuts a. casing ha ring doors i. al

lordingr access to the interior thereof. and 2 represents a drain .rotatahly mounted in. said casing through the uicdiuui oi. irunuious 3; said drum having: solid heads 2". a reticulated cylindrical Wall 22 and a door 2.. the latter aiiordiup awess to the intcrio ot the drum when opened throiurh the doors One ot the trunnions 3 is made hollou for the purpose of providing a port 3, with which is made to register a conduit 4.- which leads from a heating chamber 5 so that air 1919.

forced into the chamber 5, as, for ins anec, through a fan 6, Will be heated and driven into the drum and made to circulate through the goods therein escaping through the reticulated periphery oi. the drum into the caslug l, whence it may escape.

lVithin the drum are baiiles which as l, in tuinlgiling the goods in the drum. Tl use bail'les serve more than the more tumblin 9 purpose; they are in the form of hrusnes or group of bristles 7 preferably free to rotate, and they stir up the nap i the goods. 1' movinglint and (lust therc'lfron'i and leavin the goods in better condition "for penetration of the air Which is to remove any remnant volatile and odorous cleaning solution therein.

The drum 2 may be revolved by z j suitable means, as, tor instance, by the Last and loose pulley gear 8 driving the pinion car ried by the casing and meshing With the gear Wheel 10 carried by the drum.

I claim:

1. An aerating apparatus for clothing: comprising a revolving drum adapted to reeeive and confine clothing within it, mean-.1 i or forcing air through aid drain and the clothing contained thereni, and bi" ties located Within the drum position to con ict with and act upon the surface of elothng treated therein.
